Re: Halloween challenge

I have been abstaining from horror movies all summer. Well not really but I tried to watch less of them and save some I haven't watched. I am planning on watching one for each day of October, so I'll join you then.

Re: Halloween challenge

First time watch one, This is the oldest movie that I have seen now, I have been putting this off a few times as I have never seen Silent movie in full before and I not to keen on Vamps movie.

Yesterday I did try to watch this in early morning before work but I could not get into for some reason , I did turn it off about 20 mintues into the movie.

When I got back from work, I gave it another go in full this time.

For being first Vampire movie, it was really good and some very cool creepy moments in this movie. I loved those shadow scenes.

The vampire it's self was really creepy for time and for a PG movie and I didn't mind the whole reading scenes but when they were writing, I could not make some of handwriting which did bother me also I didn't like how scene were moved very slowly, It knida of annoying.

I don't think it was intended but I found the chase near the very end very funny and the ending was okay-ish for time.

Re: Halloween challenge

^^Try and step back way waay waaayyy into the 30s. Remember that few people saw any kind of "spooky" on the screen back then. Back in the 50s my parents (as teenagers) were trilled by all the dumb "radioactive giant monster animals" stuff.

You can rate as how you see it now, or try an extrapolate to way back then.

Re: Halloween challenge

This movie also know as Lend Me Your Ear (1942), it sound Like something I would really enjoy.

I saw this late last nigh, it was not long movie at all, this movie was more of Mystery then horror movie.

The whole movie was about find out who the killer and attack was, there no really creepy or intenst moment in this movie.

I did like it, when one people who have been attacked, start to act like Zombie at times , really enjoyed those scenes.

With any really scary or creepy, you think I will not like but, I did as love those Mystery stories, if any show dose, who done it! , I would watch it even If I have never seen show before or been a few years since the last time I seen the show.

Back to the movie, I had no idea who the killer was, I was little surpised who the killer, I didn't expect it.

The were some very funny moment in this movie that will make laugh a few times, which are intended, it fitted it really well with rest of the movie.

Re: Halloween challenge

Around Halloween the wife and I go through the French new wave horror films. These being-Inside,High Tension,Martyrs and the brutal Frontiers. I love a film that is intense, shocking and stays with you long after the credits roll.

Day 1: Night of the Hunted

This was my first Jean Rollins film. I have to say I was impressed, maybe it was due to my low expectations. It starts off with quite a bit of nudity and an extended sex scene, while sexuality is pervasive throughout the movie, it does kick into the rather interesting plot in short order. The story is of a woman who has completely lost her memory, but not even just that, she is continuing to lose her memory as her brain cells are dying. She is seemingly imprisoned in a great black building with others with the same "illness". It didn't seem like a horror movie (other than some dark/taboo subject matter), but midway through the violence kicks in and some pretty heavy gore is revealed. The whole movie felt sort of dreamy and surreal and didn't follow a linear path. The ending was both humourous and tragic. Some hilariously bad editing aside, it was a good movie.
